    - The infrastructure is not in place, you would have thought if anywhere Cambridge would (General Chat) - BSE Canary, Oct 9, 11:26:17
      - So in the absence of infrastructure, you'd rather the people on the bikes were in cars? (General Chat) - Tricky Hawes, Oct 9, 11:36:19
        
        Not at all I'm all for bikes, I ride myself, more bike lanes needed. (General Chat) - BSE Canary, Oct 9, 11:55:11
